“…The non-neural bioelectricity framework, 47 , 220 , 260 together with perspectives from the diverse intelligence and computer science communities, 42 , 261 , 262 are revealing a biomedical roadmap that is not stuck at the molecular level any more than modern cognitive science is exclusively focused on synaptic machinery. This will not only drive the design of much more effective interventions for regenerative medicine but will also advance neuroscience (by solving key problems in simpler, evolutionarily more basal, contexts), enable better control of complex morphogenesis for bioengineered synthetic constructs (such as novel biorobotics), and even the field of evolutionary developmental biology (by improving our understand of the relationship between the genetically specified hardware and the phenotypes that result from the physiological software that drives biological robustness and competency).…”
